Consolidated Gold Win reports pre-drilling and geological mapping details of QFP dyke and mineralization at Nevada Gold and Copper Property

· Issued by Big Bear Gold Corp. via CNW
VANCOUVER, Aug. 21 /CNW/ - CONSOLIDATED GOLD WIN VENTURES INC. (CGW
TSX-V, Frankfurt OUH, Pinks CGWVF) has commenced the pre-drilling geological
mapping of the South Dolly Varden gold/copper claims in Elko County, Nevada.
This mapping is to facilitate a resolution of the zones of mineralization
outlined by the surface geochem and rock samples and the 3000 foot delineated
coincident Induced Polarization(IP) anomaly with what is intersected in the
diamond drill core holes which are currently being permitted.
The proposed drill sites that were located to test the IP anomaly were
adjacent to various zones of mineralization including some of the high grade
copper, zinc and silver zones which are being detailed by the geological
mapping. Specifically the grab samples with 1145 ppm silver (33.57 ounces per
tonne) and 347ppm silver (10.18 ounces per tonne), (2.67% copper; 20.6% lead;
1.49% zinc and 0.154 ppm gold and 9.34% copper; 1.95% lead; 2.21% zinc and
0.116 ppm gold, respectively) which are located on the northern end of the IP
zone will be targeted. As well, where the IP zone comes to surface, towards
the south end of the IP anomaly, several mineralized outcrops of copper rich
mineralization have been found. Three grab samples (2.02 %, copper and 3.9 ppm
silver; 0.81% copper 190 ppm Molybdenum and 16.7 ppm silver & 3.65% copper
190 ppm uranium and 1.1 ppm silver) were reported from that area.
A further east drill site testing an area of reported alteration and
copper mineralization (two grab samples reported 5.7 & 3.4 ppm silver; 1.32% &
0.535% copper; 129 and 690 ppm molybdenum and 0.193 ppm and 0.134 ppm gold,
respectively) is located on a resistivity high area approximately 2000 feet
east of the main IP zone.
The geological mapping has identified a Quartz Feldspar Porphyry (QFP)
intrusive associated with the chargeability anomaly and the rock geochemistry
anomaly. QFP's are associated with the Skarn and porphyry copper deposits of
the Nevada basin area.
Permitting is progressing and drilling of the extensive zones of
mineralization this fall is anticipated.
The Dolly Varden area is recognized as a classic eastern Great Basin
district with base and precious metals associated with upper Paleozoic
sediments intruded by Cretaceous auriferous magmas, which is a similar
geological setting to the Battle Mountain Fortitude skarn gold type of deposit
in east central Nevada.
